i like the batman vs robocop because either way”DEAD OR ALIVE YOUR COMING WITH ME! plus i have my hands on a few collectables from both heros!
I’m not eligible to win, but my favorite is #8- Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. I want to own that piece, or at least a print of it. Make that happen JK!
My runner-ups are: #6, Johnny Recon and #10, Strange Science Fantasy.
I have to choose?! Borg Troopers (#2) wins for me, but I recently fell in love with Star Trek, so I’m a bit biased. A close runner up would be Bat/Robocop (#1).
#3, because HELL YEAH LIANDRA.
#10 Strange Science Fantasy. Though all are pretty awesome, I feel this one is the most creative, with the best visual composition.
I love that Darth Vader!
Im really loving number 10, I’m a sucker for some Strange Science Fantasy
Borg Troopers is awesome..love the color. Batman Beyond and Space Ghost is very cool as well.
Love the Batman/Robocop.. excellent!!
#10 – Strange Science Fantasy
They are all awesome, and I’m not eligible to win either, but that Spidey & His Amazing Friends is just….well….amazing! Thanks to J.K. for being so cool! Good luck to the winner!!!!
#9 Steam Witch. As a costumer Im always looking for new and sexy ways to outfit this genre. Fabulous Job!
A lot of great choices for prints here but I really love #10 Strange Science Fantasy.
#3 is definitely my favorite. It’s the ass kickiest. All are great though.
I think you did a wonderful job on Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A
I’m partial to the Steamwitch. Glorious.
Space Ghost/Batman Beyond!
Batman vs. Robocop.
I like the borg troopers
Not eligible but If she’s packin’ in the back like that I can over look the robot arm on Steam Witch! Great work all around James!
My sci-fi nerd-dom wins out with #2.
Honestly, these are all beautiful pieces. 🙂
I have to go with #8 – Spiderman and his Amazing Friends. It brings me back to when I was a kid and loved Sat morning cartoons which led to my love of comics.
#3,#1,& #2…in that order…amazing work on all James..love them all=)
I have to say #2 – Star Trek and Star Wars… plus – Darth is crazy awesome…. as a second – Steam Witch is HOt 😉
I really like the Darth Vadar one! It’s really awesome.
My favorite is #2 of these pics. bringing star wars and star trek together would be awesome. The Borg Troopers are great. And the concept of them really stick out in my eyes. Thanks for offering this contest.. pretty awesome art work..
My second favorite is #8 just for the whole marvel thought with peter parker and iceman and the phoenix (im assuming) really great layouts on everything. But those 2 are my favorite. sorry for the double post…
Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A is my choice.
I just love the expression there and how intense it appears. You would not want that angel flying at you like that. Plus the background is beautiful and the sense of motion is great as well.
I’m not eligible to win either but I vote for Spidey and His amazing friends. It was tough, I also love the Star Wars/Star Trek Borg Troopers.
I vote Johnny Recon, and not for the obvious reason that the girl is hot. I think its an artistic approach to cover art where as traditionally we see the main characters in some triumphant crescendoing pose (much like the space ghost/batman beyond cover or the Fallen angel stuff). Johnny Recon art is more like a “slice of life” approach that makes me wonder what the rest of his story is all about.
My 2 cents.
Gotta get me some of that #5, The Ghoul. If I were eligible, anyways. Aron may not be eligible, but RUSTY SHACKELFORD IS!!!!!
I gotta go with the Batman Robocop one. That’s hilarious!
I’l have to go with #3! The cover for the comic that was
so good it came out two weeks in a row.
As a life-long Star Wars fan, Borg Troopers is my favorite. And it smartly combines Star Wars and Star Trek.
#6, johnny recon
It has to be Space Ghost as he is the most bad ass of all superheroes.
Gotta be the Batman/Robocop, I love the use of reflection to show the reader additional info and details.
#7: Batman Beyond/Space Ghost. Space Ghost kicks ass and Terry McGinnis makes one hell of a futuristic batman
I love the Batman and Robocop. It has such a real feel to it, from the stitching in Batman’s to his life like facial features. It reall represents the type of Batman I would expect to bump into in dark alley. The reflection of robocop in the batarang is a nice touch, but I don’t think the batarang will do much good against Robocop’s iron plating. It might piss him off and he has a killer trigge finger.
Spider-man and his amazing friends rocks!
What a difficult decision! There are some beautifully rendered images there. I have to go with #8, Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends. It’s one of the cartoons that inspired me to delve into the world of comics and dress up as Firestar. The show didn’t really give them the chance to be deeply evolved characters but for a kids’ show, it was fun and memorable.
I’m partial to number 2(Borg Troopers) I do really like number one as well.
I really like that Steam Witch one. Really nice use of color, beautiful woman, and I love the 2 people looking out those portholes that are the eyes of the giant robot-head. Very inventive piece.
PS: Voted for you guys on the Eagle award. Good luck!
I think I like #9 “Steam Witch” the best. There’s lots to look at in the picture. The two people stuck in the copper machine force the reader to do all kinds of inferring. I think the colours really work as well. All in all, lots of great art to choose from though!
I am torn between Th Batman/Robocop, the detail is beautiful, and #7 the Batman Beyond/SpaceGhost cover. I went with #7. I love that he depicts the characters faithful to their own styles and histories and does so while making them his own creation. It’s retro and new all at once. I also love the Spidey and Amazing friends purely for nostalgic reasons. They are all excellent works but that’s my take on it.
Pingback: Attention “Fallen Angel” Fans | PeterDavid.net
I’m a big fan of Fallen Angel, and really like “Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A.” I have to say, though, that I just saw the “Steam Witch” cover and it knocks me out! The giant steampunk robot is brilliant, and Steam Witch herself is magnificently drawn. And hot.
My favorite is the Batman/Robocop art. I’d love to see J.K. take on a Batman comic. As long as it didn’t interfere with Fallen Angel, of course.
My favorite of the eleven paintings is number 8, depicting Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. The cartoon was a terrific introduction to the Marvel Universe, and Firestar was the Harley Quinn of her day — an animated character who gained enough popularity to join the comic book canon. Plus, the image is so well rendered that you can practically hear Frank Welker as Iceman teasing Peter and Angelica. Nicely done.
My favorite is Fallen Angel Return of the Son #1 Cover A. Very striking image of Liandra.
“Return of the Son” A (#3) hands down.
Expresses clearly the rage that is so important a part of Lee’s character in a very dynamic composition.
I’m partial to #4 because it so richly captures these two characters while acentuating their differences.
Number two is the best. I don’t even like Star Wars, but the Borg Troopers and Borg Star are amazing.
i really like the strange science fantasy image, #10
Steam Witch! Steam Witch! Come on, people! I’d take an original character over Batman any day!!
…Not that your Batman isn’t fantastic, JK. Because it is.
Johnny Recon. The ship outside the window in the background the gun and jacket in the forground. Very cool pulpy sci-fi with a r-rated twist. Fun stuff.
First thank you all for the kind words and for participating in this.
Second, for those that liked either the Johnny Recon or Strange Science Fantasy piece, I should point (in case you didn’t know) out that those 2 are based on a couple of terrific small press books by PopGun Pulp and IDW(respectively)!
Johnny Recon by Mitch Gerads and Scott Dillon – http://www.popgunpulp.com
Strange Science Fantasy by Scott Morse – http://www.amazon.com/Strange-Science-Fantasy-Scott-Morse/dp/1600108881
check it out, I think you’ll enjoy them!
and third: Those who liked Steam Witch, Thank you! This is my invention and I will talk a lot more about where that’s going in a couple of months if all goes well. Follow me here if you want to stay updated:
http://jkwoodwardart.blogspot.com/
Thanks again, all of you, for participating! It means the world to me.I love getting feedback.
Batman/Robocop definitely. Great retro look for Batman.
I gotta go with Space Ghost/Batman Beyond. Two of my favorite characters I never expected to see together.
The Steam Witch image in #9 is amazing! You can’t go wrong with the combination of a sexy, steam punk-y girl and a cool giant robot. Hooray!
I like Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends the best. Great action poses.
Steam Witch. Can’t wait to see more of that character!
I’m torn between Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A, and Strange Science Fantasy. I think I am leaning towards SSF, because of the use of light and shadow. But I would give honorable mention to the FA cover.
Borg Troopers! That’s a crossover I want to see. And Darth Vader looks so real.
Borg Troopers! I want that poster.
I love the mood of Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover B!!
I’ll go with Strange Science Fantasy. I like the aging effect. And it makes me want to read that story.
#11 Wolina –love the look on her face and the flapper outfit
#1, that is just such a fantastic rendering of a very unique and realistic Batman cowl. Add in Robocop and it’s almost too much awesome in one picture!
Batman/Robocop. Im imagining a whole graphic novel in that style…
Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 cover A FTW!
Lucky #7 — gotta go with Space Ghost. But they’re all fabulous.
I like the Batman/Robocop piece the best. Not because of the characters, but the texture of Batman’s cowl mixed with the perfect brick background really worked for me. The two Fallen Angel: Return of the Son covers are gorgeous, though.
I’m a bit biased, but my favorite is Space Ghost/Batman Beyond. JK donated it to our Auction to raise money for our local women’s shelter and it raised a lot of money to help families in need. And it is pretty kick ass!
The Steam Angel is a rather nice piece. Like the combo of retro-futurism and steampunk he accomplished there. And the machine puts me in mind of a strange, twisted TARDIS.
I like Space Ghost/Batman Beyond. Great classic heroic poses. And an interesting crossover idea.
Wolalina. I like how it evokes the roaring ’20’s, a favorite era of mine.
“Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A” is AMAZING! You can feel the rage from Lee and the back ground is beautiful.
Very difficult choice. I am going with Steam Witch.
I’m going with Spider-Man and his amazing friends. Looks fun.
Batman/Robocop is my favorite of this spectacular group of covers.
I’ve got to go with the Batman/Robocop one, #1.
“Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A” for its intensity.
#7. I have fond memories of the original Space Ghost from when I was a kid, and my kids love Batman Beyond. Som something for all of us.
(Close second: #1. I don’t think adding Rococop to the mix adds much. I’d prefer a regular Batman foe or, even better, basic back-alley street punk. But I do like the leather mask. Takes Bats back to pulp roots.)
So many great images it is difficult to pick a favorite! I will go with Strange Science Fantasy. That image just grabbed me and made me want to know more!
I vote for Borg Troopers.
#11 Wolalina — I see a story there.
My favorite cover would have to be the Johnny Recon. You’ve got the scantily-clad babe, the retro spaceship in the window, the ray-gun, the Space Patrol jacket and the booze. It’s noir without being glum. And it’s color scheme makes even the garish ray-gun look muted and subtle. A beautiful piece.
I love the grrl power in Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A.
Pingback: The week(s) in IDW « RyallTime Blog
I love the homage to Strange Science Fantasy. Great job, JK!
It’s so hard to choose one, but I’ll go with Strange Science Fantasy. It’s bizarre, but that’s good.
#3: The sense of rapid motion and the glowing/lightening eyes are so intense. Also, I would not want to be whoever she is after! Chilling!
LOVE the Spider-Man one (8) that is really cool.
Ghoul +1 (yeah, I know I’m not eligible!) 😀
Space Ghost/Batman Beyond is my fave, although it was hard to choose. 2 of my favorite characters.
Steam Witch. Sexy but filled to the brim with action and attitude. Makes me want to read the book.
I gotta go with Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A. I want a big poster of that.
I really can’t pick my favorite I really like them all. All I have to say is J.K Woodward has some major skills.
Batman/Robocop is my fave.
Borg troopers, hands down. It’s the best of both worlds.
I agree that they all look GREAT & would be estatic to own any of one them. I have always been a fan of Fallen Angel & J.K.’s artwork since day one. I finally narrowed it down to 2 choices…
#3 Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 – This is just a stunning image unto itself. The sheer power of this Image is breathtaking & Heart Pounding. The color scheme make it that much more impressive. This cover made it one of the 1st books I snagged off my LCS shelf. .
& #9 Steam Witch – Sci-Fi at its best – HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!
Thanks,
Alan
PEACE!+
Gotta go with Wolalina. I wanna see more. Great job.
Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover “A” for “Awesome!”
The Borg Troopers rock my world.
It’s a toss up between #1 and 2 for me, but in the end I’ll go with Batman/Robocop, as Batman is my favorite comics character.
Johnny Recon. I detect several bits of symbolism in it.
That’s a toughy. I gotta Go with Batman/Robocop, but Fallen Angel: RotS Cover A is a close second.
I like the composition of Steam Witch. There’s a lot of interesting things going on in the picture. Excellent work.
I like them all but I think I would have to choose #9 “Steam Witch.”
Good work, guys!
I really like Spider-Man and his Amazing friends, with Fallen Angel cover A a close second.
Tough one, many strong ones. I’ll go with Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A.
Borg Troopers we are huge star wars fans in this house and this picture is well just freaking awesome…
thanks

I’m afraid for me it’s a tie between leather-cowled Batman and Robocop reflected on the batarang and the combination of Batman Beyond and Space Ghost. Both are cool, and amusing in each their own way.
Strange Science Fantasy, because it’s so… oh, what’s the word… strange.
Do I have to pick just one? Sigh. Batman/Robocop. I like the seams on the bat costume.
My favorite is #11 Wolalina. Great image!
I choose Fallen Angel cover B (#4). I like its use of light and the glowing effect.
Steam Witch! For the steampunk in me.
-Austin C.
Spider-man and his Amazing Friends. Also a fave childhood cartoon of mine.
It’s between the Batmen for me, but I’ll side with Space Ghost/Batman Beyond. I have found memories of both shows.
I think Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A will be my next iPhone wallpaper.
More Wolalina please. I vote for it!
I choose Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. They’re all good, but this one has a sense of lighthearted adventure I like.
For me it’s Space Ghost & Batman Beyond. I wonder if those were paired up for a painting because of the contrast between their two costumes.
My favorite is the Space Ghost/Batman Beyond art piece!!! Looks awesome!!!
My favorite one is Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover B.
Batman/Robocop is the one I like best.
My pick: Fallen Angel Return of the Son cover A.
Liz
I’m a big fan of J.K. Woodward’s work on Fallen Angel, so I’ve got to go with Fallen Angel: Return of the Son #1 Cover A. –Jon
I’ve gotta go with #1 Batman/Robocop too.
I’ll vote Strange Science Fantasy. I really like the aged look and the bizarre imagery.
I’ll go with Strange Science Fantasy too. I like the weird!
Borg Troopers rules. Great job J.K.
If a girl blasting away with guns can be cute, then Wolalina is. I vote for it I’d read her comic. Thanks for offering the sketch cover contest!
I’d have to go with #3, the Fallen Angel (a) cover
I like number 2 the most.
Spiderman and amazing friends is awesome! love the colors
I vote Borg Troopers. I guess that’s what happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object!
Batman/Robocop. Reminds me of Lee Bermejo’s Joker art.
Gotta go with #2!
Gotta go with #1 because Batman and Robin is my favorite movie of all time
I’ll pick Wolalina. Sweet art.
It’s hard to pick, but I’ll go with Fallen Angel cover A since I read that comic out of the ones shown. And it looks even better here than the printed cover on the comic.
My favorite of the paintings would have to be the Darth Vader & Predator Borg painting as it captures a mix of my favorite iconic sci-fi characters. Of the cover art, #1 would have to be my favorite as well for I love the comic and that cover in particular is a beautiful image of her.
cheers,
Austin!
Strange Science Fantasy is awesometastic!!
I gotta vote for the incredibly detailed Batman/Robocop.
BBBBBOOOOOOOORRRGG!
Fallen is one of my all-time favorites. It’s one of the series that got me into comic collecting (at the ripe old age of ~48), and it was fantastic to meet JKW at my local comic shop, The Comic Bug, in Manhattan Beach, CA; so I’ve got to go with #1.
Space Ghost & Batman Beyond. I love those shows and you captured them perfectly. –J.
I really like the Batman/ Robocop. It looks great and there is a movement to get a Robocop Statue here in Michigan.
Huge Space Ghost fan so that with Batman Beyond is my fav! Thanks for the contest!
They’re all awesome but the Borg one blows my mind.
